My lead level is also high.....but I don't see any way tumbling could have anything to do with this....I do just like everybody else....tumble, then lick the dust of each shell, then dry and polish it with my t-shirt.

I was out there this afternoon, loaded some 9mm and .45 ACP on the Dillon and some 5.7X28 on the Lee single stage. I'm going to the range in the morning so I will probably do some more tomorrow evening (when I get through with the honey-do's).

I ordered about $200 worth of bullets from Berry's a couple of days ago so I will be loading a bunch in the coming weeks.

About 50 rounds of single stage and individually weighed powder charges of .223 for my Tikka darling, and prepped another 50 cases for loading tomorrow as well as sizing and prepping 50 new Winchester cases for my Mosin Nagant. Tomorrow midday wind permitting will be proof testing 2 loads for the Tikka and one for the Nagant. After that maybe a box of .22 ammo in 2 different rifles . Less than 1/2 of what I would normally shoot on an outing. Not going to deplete my reserves at this time .

You say your fingers are hurting, are you using the Lee, or the crank type trimmer. I don’t know why I’m asking. I have the crank RCBS, but when the arthritis kicks in nothing helps, but I do take and put medical tape on the fingers I turn the crank with. I had some guys do some concrete block work for me and the first thing they did was tape their fingers up. It helps when doing a bunch
